  3. vimwiki

    Personal Wiki for Vim

    Project mention: Calendar.txt | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-02-28

    I use vimwiki[1] just for this "diary" functionality, with different days in different files. Can browse the directory in netrw to find a day's notes, and I have scripts that let me archive old stuff. I tend to put an "x" in front of completed lines (and move uncompleted lines forward to new days) so it is easy to detect and archive unactionable or "completed" files.
